PIN-HOLDER ATTACHMENT FOR SEWING-MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 781,840, dated February 7, 1905.

Application filed August 3, 1904. Serial No. 219,271. I

To n'lmm/ it may concern.-

Be it known that l. ADELPHA (J. MIXGHETTI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Banos, in the county of Merced and State of California, have invented certain new and useful 1m p rovements in Pin-Holder Attachments for Sewing-Machines; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the acconumnyingdrawings,and the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in attachments for sewing-machines; and it consists, essentially, of a pin-cushion attachment for said sewing-machines, my object being to have a cushion always within easy reach of the operators hand. This objectI accomplish by the peculiar construction and relative arrangement of parts herein fully specified, and particularly pointed out in the claims appended.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a sewing-machine, showing my improved attachment thereon. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of my improved device with all its parts extended. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of my cushion.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views.

1 is the arm of a sewing-machine.

2 is a pin-cushion, on the upper side of which is sewed a chamois skin 3. i

T represents catches in the top of the cushion, in which is secured a wire 5, on the upper end of which is secured a small threaded bolt 6, on which is mounted a Wing-nut 7.

8 is a catch or jaw fastened to the lower end gflthe cushion and is adapted to receive the o t i.

The operation is as follows: The wire 5 extends over the top and back of the body 1 and the bolt 6 on the under side and through the catch 8. The wing-nut 7 is then screwed up, thus tightening the cushion in position.

The chamois 3 is for the purpose of polish ing or cleaning the needles or pins.

1 have entered into a detailed description of the construction and relative arrangement of parts embraced in the present and preferred embodiment of my invention. I do not desire, however, to be understood as confiningmyself to such specific detail, as such changes or modifications may be made in practice as fairly fall within the scope of my claims.

Havingthus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination with the arm of a sewing-machine of a cushion, catches on the top of said cushion, a wire secured in said catches, a bolt attached to the upper part of said wire, a wing-nut mounted on said bolt and a catch on the bottom of said cushion adapted to receive said bolt and wing-nut, all as specified.

2. The combination with the arm of a sewing-machine of a cushion, catches on the top of said cushion, a wire secured in said catches, a bolt attached to the upper part of said wire, a wing-nut mounted on said belt, a catch on the bottom of said cushion adapted to receive said bolt and wing-nut, and a chamois skin fastened over the top of said cushion, as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
